A gem, Sreve. The dark tone really works for this photograph and concentrates focus upon the lightning bolt. Really nice composition and an image that I like very much

very nice one Steve. Always i wonder, what archeologists, in 3209 year will think about such sculptures, after finding it in the sand......if it was from other planets......gift of extraterresterials....i bet that it`s heading directly to Alfa Centauri ...... :-))

Powerful B&W Steve!! I think the processing highlights very effectively the thunder like sculpture.

A perfect high contrast subject, good crop and surrounding dark tones to bring out the lightning sculpture.

great capture and, as usual, I really like the strong contrast in the black & white.

Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain

Powerful image! I like very much the impact it produces, and I think that is much more effective in b/w than in color.
